Introduction

Being a Christian means being in a spiritual war. Many situations or circumstances have the potential to severely wound us, making it almost impossible to function. If you are looking for somewhere to heal and recover, you've come to the right place.

The Lord knows about the war and has blessed all of us with strengths and abilities so that we can recover from the wounds. Working from the problem to a solution, we will discover what your abilities are and focus on moving from strength to strength. You have a lot to offer - we are here for healing, so you can return to the daily fight a stronger person than before you were wounded.

Grief Support

Whether you are recovering from the loss of a loved one, a divorce, job lay-off, or other loss, support is available. The Grief Support Group meets bi-monthly on the first and third Wednesdays of every month at 7 pm in room 211 at Life Center.

Alcohol Recovery

Taste of New Wine is the name of Life Center's Alcoholics Anonymous support group, where you can be free to share your experiences, gather strength, and find hope in order to solve problems. Alcohol is a family illness, and a changed perspective aids recovery. Taste of New Wine meets every Thursday at 7 pm.

Prodigals

The Prodigals support groups for men are for those who are struggling with sexual addictions. The Prodigals group for women is for their wives and partners who have been affected by the men’s sexual addictions.

The groups meet on Monday evening beginning at 6 pm. The men’s group meets in room 311 and the women’s group meets in the “Bride’s room”. Both on are on the balcony level of the main sanctuary.

The Prodigals are a part of a national organization called Prodigals International and is a Bible-based recovery program for those struggling with sexual addictions.
